Calories: 267kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled (do not add hot butter to the dough)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and have ready a baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to a large mixing bowl and mix on medium-high speed for no less than 2 minutes, until it begins to look like a paste.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well and scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl after each addition. Then, add the vanilla and mix to combine.
- Add the dry ingredient and mix on low until evenly incorporated. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl again and mix. Add the chocolate chips and mix once more.
- Drop large mounds of rounded dough balls (just under a ¼ cup of dough -- these are big cookies) on the baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 1 ½ - 2" apart. Gently press each dough round slightly to flatten.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet at least 10 minutes before serving.
